Life Terms Given Four In Florida Rape Trial
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—(UPI)—Four white youths convicted of the rape of a Negro college co-ed were sentenced Monday to life imprisonment.
The youths, ranging in age from 16 to 24, were convicted of taking the girl from her Negro date on the night of her college spring formal dance and raping her seven times. The jury recommended mercy, without which the judge would have been required to give them the death penalty.
Under terms of the life imprisonment statute, the imprisoned men could apply for parole as early as six months after sentence begins. But in such cases it is extremely rare for any consideration to be given the request in under 10 years
Circuit Judge W. May Walker pronounced sentence and the youths were immediately taken to the state prison at Raiford.
They are Patrick Scarborough, 20,
Willon T. Collinsworth, 23, Ollie
Stoutamire, 16, and David Beagles,
18.
The youths were convicted June 15 after a four-day trial.
Under terms of the jury's conviction, the judge could have imposed sentences anywhere from a few years to life. No white person ever has been sent to the chair for raping a Negro in Florida, but 37 Negroes have paid that price for assaulting white women during the past 25 years.
The four youths admitted in signed confessions that they abducted the 19-year-old Negro co-ed at gunpoint May 2, and raped her. The name of the rape victim is protected from publication by Florida law.
Their lawyers — three of them court-appointed — notified Judge Walker Sunday that they would not ask for a new trial and requested that he pronounce sentence immediately.

Students who will be freshmen here this fall will have an opportunity to take placement examinations and become acquainted with the University this summer at two-day "previews."
Preview Due For Freshmen
The KU Previews are designed as preliminary orientation periods. Prospective freshmen will have a chance to take placement and physical examinations, confer with faculty advisers, arrange for housing and get acquainted with future classmates.
A dinner for the previewers, at which members of the University faculty and staff will be present, will be held the first evening of the preview.
The previews have become increasingly popular during the past two summers. Six previews are scheduled in July with a maximum of 200 students to be accommodated at each one. Attendance is not compulsory and not all of the events of orientation in September will be duplicated.

Foreign Student Totals Climb 38% in 5 Years
The number of foreign students studying in the United States has increased 38 per cent in the last five years, the Institute of International Education reports.
The 47,245 students from 131 countries registered in U.S. colleges and universities this year represent a 9 per cent increase over the number last year and an 86 per cent increase over that of the academic year 1948-49. According to all available statistics the current figure represents the largest foreign student population in any country of the world.
The post-war period also has produced a great spurt in the exchange of university teachers and scholars, the institute revealed in its fifth edition of "Open Doors," an annual statistical report on educational exchange.
The sharp increase in both "export" and "import" faculty figures reflected the U.S.'s growing concern with education in the physical sciences. Nine hundred seven, or 47 per cent of the foreign professors brought to American schools this year, were in this field. This was double the number of foreign science professors here last year. The number of American science professors who went abroad to teach and do research was 389, or 43 per cent more than last year.
In five years, the number of foreign professors teaching in our schools has tripled. American colleges and universities reported 1.937 foreign faculty members this year, in comparison to 635 in 1954-55. With 1.842 American faculty abroad, this was the first year on record that we "imported" more professors than we "exported."
"The increasing percentage of foreign students attracted by our science courses seems to show that the United States is achieving new status in science education," said IIE President Kenneth Holland. This was the first time that the physical and natural sciences placed third in fields of interest among foreign students. In previous years, it had scored fourth, fifth and even sixth, always trailing behind the social sciences, and sometimes behind medicine and business administration.
Court Reporters Win Top Award
Two court reporters won distinction this week by earning the certificate of proficiency at the annual Court Reporters Seminar here.
The wards to Maynard E. Peterson and James C. Hickerson, both of Tulsa, were announced Thursday at a banquet in the Kansas Union, and certificates were presented to the two reporters.
The certificate of proficiency is one of the most coveted awards of court reporting. To pass the national test based on speed and accuracy, the reporter must take dictation at 160 words a minute on solid material, 180 on jury charges and 200 words a minute on testimony.
The test was administered by a national representative of the National Shorthand Reporters Assn.
Peterson, a former student at the Midwest Stenotype Institute in Kansas City, Mo., is court reporter for Judge W. Lee Johnson of the district court in Tulsa.
Hickerson is reporter for Judge Rooney McInernv of the common pleas court in Tulsa.
